Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. This month is just flying by! Yep, I am still living the island life and here is a peek into my Aventures in Aruba week 3.
Adventures in Aruba Week 3
Our son arrived to join us this week which was a nice addition. He also settled right into our easy adventures in Aruba for week 3. Nothing too exciting on the workout front this week.
Monday-3.1 mile run + 10 min core + 2 m walk
This is probably going to be my favorite running photo of the trip. I was excited to try this exercise dress out and I loved it! Super lightweight and very comfy. Forgive my posting it one more time. Could not resist a short run on the pristine morning sand. No one else was anywhere to be seen. Afternoon walk with my son.
Tuesday-10 min core + 10 min stretch + yoga for hips + 450 meter swim
Having a little fun with my son pool side. He is pretty much a one and done for the fun photos with me. I had to make sure it was a good one. He is so supportive don’t you think?
Wednesday 10 m core + 3 mile walk
We took our son back to our favorite watch the sunset restaurant. Best views on the island.
Thursday- 3.2 mile run + 20 min core + 30 min yoga
Friday- 2 mile walk + 30 m strength + 10 m core
Saturday-30 min elliptical + core class
Our daughter arrived today to spend the last week with us all. We switched locations to a hotel and I went into a gym for the first time since who knows when. When I peeked my head in to take a look, no one was in there. I excitedly jumped right onto the elliptical for a quick sweat session.
Sunday- Stand up paddle board Yoga Class
It’s been a while but always a fun time.
Another beautiful week of Adventures in Aruba week 3. Soaking it all in before I head back to reality next week. Sending warm and sunny holiday wishes your way this week. Have a safe and healthy holiday!
Marcia says
Cheers to week 3! So nice your son could join you and I bet you can’t wait to see your daughter! I could adjust to island time pretty easily! Haha!
Deborah Brooks says
It sure does go by fast!
Katie says
Post the dress photo as many times as you want… it’s fabulous. The colors, the setting… I’m sure I’m not the only one imagining I’m sitting there with a Mai Tai in a cabana on the beach in my imagination. I’m just gonna hang out there in my mind – lol.
And then when I thought that had to be the best photo in your post, I see the acrobat photo with your son. How creative, how did you all come up with that pose?? Even if he’s a “one a done” he was a great sport for the “one”.
That’s the thing about these Caribbean trip photos – each one is better than the last, am I right? Looking forward to more and keep having so much fun!
Deborah Brooks says
Aw you are so sweet! Yes I will keep them coming. The colors on the run dress photo did come out so great I love it too
Cari says
Gee, such a challenge to “Run Happy” in a beautiful location. 😀 So glad you’re having an amazing time, so well deserved. I love the dress, especially the vibrant color. Keep posting it, it looks amazing on you.
Deborah Brooks says
You are very sweet! I am sure it’s not the last time you will see it 🙂
Kim G says
So glad that your kids were able to join you in paradise this week! I love all of your photos from Aruba so please keep sharing as much as possible. It’s a frozen tundra here with a good amount of snow so I enjoy seeing photos of the sun and sand!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and you got it more photos coming your way 🙂
Kimberly Hatting says
It’s been fun going along (virtually) with you to Aruba 😉 So much sunshine!!!!! Great job staying active!!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks Kim and yes lots of sunshine daily!
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
Looks like another nice week there! Enjoy your last week and your time with both your kids!
Deborah Brooks says
thanks so much! Hard to have a bad day here
Darlene S Cardillo says
You look amazing in every photo. Sunshine agrees with you. Too bad you have to return. But I think your reality is better than mine- 30 in of snow.
Deborah Brooks says
This sun does agree with me but kind of ready to come home now. Wow that is a lot of snow!
Jessie says
Looks like a lovely vacation and glad your son could join (and was willing to participate in photo, haha!)
Deborah Brooks says
Yes me too on both!
Beckett @ Birchwood Pie says
You hit the jackpot with the yoga photo with your son! Enjoy your last week.
Deborah Brooks says
I did he was so sweet to do it with me!
Melissa says
It seems like you’ve been there forever!! I’m still jealous. I’m so over winter and it hasn’t even started yet!
Deborah Brooks says
It does seem like to me as well!
Coco says
You’ve gotten so many fantastic pictures — and hopefully great memories to go with them. Love the one with your son!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes we sure have to both! It’s been an interesting few weeks
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
I do love that running photo of you! I’m sure it feels wonderful to finally have both of your children with you. Enjoy!
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes it is great to have them both here!
Wendy says
Wow, week 3? Are you ever coming home? I sure wouldn’t, lol!
Deborah Brooks says
Well that seems to be up for debate at the moment!
Chocolaterunsjudy says
So happy you’ve got the fam together again! Your son is a trooper. I can’t imagine my brother ever doing that for my mom, but of course she wasn’t a yogini and was very zaftig for most of her life. 🙂
Enjoy that son while you’ve got it cause baby it’s cold back here!
Deborah Brooks says
I am happy to all be together right now. Yes my son sure was a good sport!
Liz Dexter says
How lovely to have all that sun! Even I’m craving it now and husband is seriously battling his SAD and looking up house details in / how the hell to move to nowadays Spain. Lovely that you get this opportunity and taking full advantage!
Deborah Brooks says
winter is always challenging but this year is off the charts challenging. I hope you find a way to get away for a short time too
Liz Dexter says
There is sadly absolutely no way we can get anywhere for a good long time at the moment. Not really even to the seaside here as we’d have to take public transport. We’re concentrating on building up our Spanish so we can do OK when we finally get there again and start looking for a bolthole, but no idea when that will be. Some places still won’t even let us in!
Deborah Brooks says
I know things are just crazy over there right now. Hope you were able to have a Merry Christmas despite the chaos. Thinking of you. Just think how amazing it will be when you can finally get away for a holiday
Liz Dexter says
Thank you. Yes, we had a quiet one with plenty of video calls so it’s been OK.
Michelle D. says
How wonderful to have your kids join you! It looks like it has been a lovely trip. Keep enjoying that sunshine 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Yes it’s great to have them here!
Zenaida Arroyo says
Glad you are enjoying your time in Aruba!! I do love the dress and the color too. Are you ever coming back? I wouldn’t! 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and well not sure! I guess eventually 🙂
Shathiso says
The shot with you and your son is EPIC! I love it! So glad you’ve had an amazing time – well deserved after a difficult year. Glad your children could join you too.
Deborah Brooks says
We really have thanks!
Jenn says
I love all of this so much! It’s got to be so nice to be enjoying all that family time and island air. I think one year, we will get out of dodge for Christmas. It would be nice to get some time away. Enjoy!
Deborah Brooks says
It is one of our family traditions that we love. Now that the kids are older, it’s nice to all be together here
